6. Be certain to follow the ball/valve instructions indicated on the front panel of the
unit. Attach air supply line to the inlet air on the pump assembly. Do not turn the
air ball valve on yet.
7. Set the air pressure to 50 psi. Air operating range is from 50-100 psi. A setting
of 50 psi is recommended to give the operator more control of the sweeping
operation. Do not turn on the air ball valve yet.
NOTE:
When ready to operate the Tank Sweeper
®
, be sure to check all connections
for leaks and be prepared to shut down the Sweeper
®
. Have your emergency spill kit
available and in reach.
NOTICE:
Especially during first use, it is best to have this operation performed by
two people—one operating the air supply and the other person sweeping the tank.
8. Once the pump is pumping, the Tank Sweeper
®
will begin to remove the bottom
contents of the tank where the majority of fuel contaminants exist, i.e., water,
crud, algae and rust. The Tank Sweeper
®
operator should move the rigid wand in
a sweeping motion back and forth across the bottom of the tank. You may first
observe water, then black sludge-like-debris, and then the fuel/oil should begin to
slowly change color to a healthy looking state. Being careful not to overflow the
55-gallon drum, quickly move the wand to a position where contaminants are still
being suctioned. Repeat this sweeping function until only clean fuel is removed.
It may be necessary to use two 55-gallon drums depending upon the amount of
contaminates found.
NOTE:
Be mindful of the 55-gallon drum level and be sure not to overfill. Have your
emergency spill kit ready and available in case of a spill. Leave sufficient air space
for expansion.
